This week on #WellnessWednesdays, we chat with Dai Manuel on lifestyle and fitness.

Ironically Dai was morbidly obese as a teen (with a BMI over 40) before he really found fitness. After starting to work in the industry for more than a decade, he took a left turn to change his lifestyle for him and his family.

We connected on Twitter a while back and the cool thing is he swung by Ottawa on his cross-Canada tour on his way to the other side of the pond. He was such a cool and gracious guest and we geeked out a bit during the interview.

Upcoming Events

Triathlon Coaching

As a certified ChiRunning® & Spinning® instructor, a Race Director and a Clydesdale athlete, I bring a diverse approach to coaching triathlon. I truly believe that being efficient and effective makes sure you get to the finish line and you cross it with a smile!

ChiRunning

As an avid runner that’s overcome a serious back injury, ChiRunning® is a natural fit for me. It’s really helped me bring joy back to running while making me a more efficient runner. I’ve described it as yoga-like and the "thinking man’s running". It makes you learn that everything truly comes from the core.

Golf Fitness

As a Titleist Performance Institute Certified Fitness Professional, I can look at your physical limitations and see how you can improve your fitness (strength, mobility and stability) so you can improve your golf swing. Making you fitter, more flexible and a better athlete will allow you to become a better golfer and most importantly, enjoy it more!

About Eric

What can I say? I’m a passionate individual who truly thinks that variety is the spice of life!

Don’t let my relaxed impression fool you; I’m very serious about my coaching. I’m a lifelong learner and a sponge when it comes to information that might help me. I’ve been told that I’m great at relating to people and coaching is a great way to transfer some knowledge and experience.
